The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

She didn't know how to answer, as if she was surrounded by an unprecedented sweetness and immense happiness, leaving her lost in thought for a long time.

“Because he’s my instructor too.” AI Tina’s lips curled up slightly, and she smiled happily.

#

(Where did you go after we parted ways, Dragon Maid? I'm so angry that you haven't shown up at all...)

(Because as long as you don't appear, there's a hateful force that makes me think you never existed.)

(You know what? No matter what the request is, as long as it's your request, I will agree unconditionally and do my best to fulfill it, just like in Maid of the Dragon, when you asked me to trust Tohru.)

(There is no love without a reason in this world. Love may be a long-lasting and devoted affection, or a shared experience of life and death. But loving you is unique. There is no process, nor does it need to be. This deep love is not only unforgettable, but also imprinted on the soul.)

(Because I fell in love with you for no reason at all)

(That's why I became you...)

...

...

...

...

I will always love you.

[158. No matter who confesses their love, it won't work! ...except for you.]

The AI ​​Tina in this book differs from the original character because she has merged with a soul. Since she no longer needs to learn anything from the "real Tina," she doesn't refer to the "real Tina" as an instructor, but simply calls her "Tina."

###

A soul from another world merges with AI intelligence.

With a heart of steel, a mechanical body, and even her memories stored in a supercomputer like a programmed program, she remains AI Tina even after merging with a soul from another world and gradually becoming more emotional.

Before the real Tina appeared, it was correct for her to identify as "Tina".

But she knew that she could never replace the real Tina, so after the soul of the true owner of this body was revived, she became "AI Tina".

—I love you, that's why I became you.

Perhaps it was only after I became you that I fell irrevocably in love with you.

Well, none of that matters, right?

As long as you're still by my side, that's enough.

That night, the streetlights, like a narrow Milky Way woven from countless stars, fell to earth.

The world seemed to become much more beautiful. Even a small gray-winged moth perched on a bright street lamp appeared so comical and adorable in Tina's eyes.

Her mind was at peace like never before.

It wasn't the indifferent calm of a robot; a subtle, almost imperceptible curve played at the corners of her lips.

Even though this tiny movement seemed perfectly normal to outsiders, even Misaka Mikoto and the others noticed that her steps were lighter, and she seemed to have become... more mysterious, cute, and charming.

AI Tina is so happy!

Because Tina didn't just disappear after showing up because she was "too sleepy and wanted to rest."

Her soul, her consciousness, her voice, still resonate so clearly in the depths of her heart.

AI Tina wanted to greedily savor every moment of her existence.

Tina

"Um... AI Tina, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing, I just—wanted to call you."

"Okay~ Okay~"

Tina

"Huh~?"

"Um...when do you need to rest? Will you rest for a long time like last time?"

"..." The girl did not answer immediately.

"I just want to spend more time with you."

"Well, I won't go to rest so soon this time..." The girl seemed to be hiding something, abruptly changing the subject, "AI Tina, I want to... know what happened to you during this time, is that alright?"

Although it was meant to change the subject, those words came from her genuine wish.

That's really hard to agree to.

...Because of the owl, Li Seyu and other people and things, everything has been completely exposed, and she doesn't want to see Tina jealous or depressed at all...Of course, it's also possible that she's happy that AI Tina has found a confidante.

But Tina's voice sounded so devout and longing that she couldn't refuse: "If you want to hear it, I'll tell you slowly."

"I want to hear it too! No... I'm a computer! Tina, just give me access to the memory bank, and I can look at it myself!" Bebe said.

"You don't need to." AI Tina's cold voice left no room for compromise.

"Waaah, I was rejected outright! Why is there such a huge difference in treatment?!" Beibei cried.

"Then Beibei, listen with me."

In the introduction a while ago, Tina learned that Bebe was a supercomputer saved by AI Tina, and Tina's innate approachable temperament quickly won over even the proud Bebe.

"Hey, AI Tina..."

"Ah... I, I'm here—, what's wrong?" Suddenly hearing her name softly called, AI Tina's emotions surged violently, and she quickly responded.

"Don't be so nervous, I just wanted to call out to you~"

AI Tina: Stunned —

The real world.

Misaka Mikoto and her group walked to a quiet coffee shop, and after entering, they found a quiet spot where no one was sitting and sat down.

"Hey, where's Tina?"

Only then did I realize that Tina hadn't followed. Turning around, I saw her frozen figure at the doorway.

Misaka was about to speak when Kuroko stopped her, gesturing with his eyes to the trainer behind Tina, indicating that she could leave it to him.

That's right, the training officer is here too.

"Tina," the trainer asked calmly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

The man's voice startled her awake, and she quickly replied, "No... I'm fine."

She quickly went inside and sat down in the spot against the wall that Misaka Mikoto had chosen.

Misaka Mikoto smiled and was about to sit opposite Tina with Kuroko, intending to let her sit with the trainer, when Tina grabbed her clothes.

The girl blushed slightly, didn't raise her head, and said softly, "Big sister, please sit next to me."

AI Tina didn't know what kind of feelings she had for her trainer, but she wouldn't feel comfortable sitting together with him without permission.

Although the real Tina undoubtedly loves her instructor, the AI ​​Tina cannot express her feelings or offer her a hug on her behalf.

Finally, all four of them took their seats.

"Tina's instructor..."

"Actually, it's the training officer," AI Tina corrected.

Misaka paused for a moment, then quickly changed her mind and said, "So, Mr. Tina's trainer, what would you like to drink?"

"Iced latte, please."

Where is Tina?

"Whatever."

"Whatever, I'll take the liberty of doing it..." Without asking Kuroko, Misaka Mikoto turned directly to the waiter and said, "One iced latte and three cappuccinos, that'll do, thank you."

The waiter nodded and left.

Even though Tina managed to call out "Instructor" at the time, she seemed strangely unfamiliar when they met, and suddenly thought it was because the AI ​​had been tampered with.

Thinking that it would make her feel awkward and nervous if the trainer asked her, Misaka Mikoto asked on his behalf:

"Tina, do you remember who tampered with your AI? ...And set me as its master? Could it be someone I know?"

"If we're talking about Onee-sama's enemies, Misaki Shokuhou is the most likely one..." Kuroko suddenly realized something, "Wait a minute!... Sending Tina over here to compete with me for favor, that must have been done by my enemies!"

At this moment, Tina suddenly spoke up quietly:

"I know."

Misaka Mikoto sighed, "So, there are still no clues."

……

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! ! !

—She just said, "I know!"

"Tina...you...know!?"

It's just about the cycle of reincarnation and the main god. The memories that were unsealed are all clearly remembered.

So, regardless of whether they believed it or not, Tina used simple language to explain the cause and process in detail.

Of course, Tina concealed her true purpose in coming for Lee Seul-ok.

Furthermore, the goal of "completely merging the soul with AI" is falsely referred to as "learning emotions," claiming that once the learning of emotions reaches its limit, it will be the day of returning to the cycle of reincarnation.

After Tina finished speaking, everyone remained silent for a long time.
